Part One outlines the artistic background. In the second section, the classification of the work along the lines of Giacometti's own creative thinking is attempted by recourse to two opposed concepts of the artist's goal: the working out of a style and the faithful depiction of reality. The penultimate phase in Giacometti's creative process marks the coming together of these two concepts--in those familiar, thin figures born out of a close observation of reality and the idea that style could provide the key to the creation of an artistic equivalent to the living presence of reality. However, in the final phase, in the work of Giacometti's last years which is still largely underrated, style gave way to the ever more powerful, hallucinatory presence of the human likeness.The author has.assembled in an additional chapter numerous biographical documents, both by the artist and by his contemporaries, to provide a many-sided, sometimes contradictory, but always lively picture of Alberto Giacometti, the man and the artist"--dustjacket ; this is the copy of the Atlanta ceramicist, Frances G.
